You do this from the admin web ui (frontview)
Not too many logs there. I clicked "Clear Logs" and then attempted to re-access the NAS. Same sluggishness.
Any other suggestions?
Is there any way to confirm that the OS partition is filling up?
I see in the manual there's a boot option to reinstall the OS to the drives. Would this risk any data and would it be worth trying? How long might it take?

You can see the OS fullness if you enable ssh access to the NAS - there's no other way to tell.
The OS reinstall is pretty safe, but is also unlikely to help. So I wouldn't do that right now.
You might consider Netgear per-incident support (I believe that would cost ~$75 if you are in the US).
